Originally denoting in the New Testament an inclusive church containing Greeks as well as Jews, the term ‘catholic’ was used in an exclusive sense in the third and fourth cents to define a church whose agreed beliefs and doctrines excluded anyone who held contrary opinions. These two senses continue today in the notions of the church as catholic (i.e. universal and inclusive) and Catholic (i.e. having a specific and exclusive historical identity) — Professor John Rogerson
